Opportunities for artists to participate in workshops and local and national shows.
We will be learning a very interesting technique using watercolor paper and a watercolor underpainting to highlight the light in paintings. Supply list will be sent after registration and closer to the date. The workshop will be held in the Museum of The Big Bend and includes lunch for the workshop days.
